Let Steve introduce you to his amazing world of Lap Style Slide Guitar in C tuning (CGCGCD) in this easily accessible lesson for the intermediate slide player. 'Steve has evolved into a musical chameleon, whether appearing with his group Zubot and Dawson, the avant-folk quartet The Great Uncles of the Revolution or blues legend Jim Byrnes, and now, he proves he's a great teacher too!' In this lesson, Steve focuses on his specialized style of playing lap-style slide in open C tuning. Using an original country blues to show how he plays in C major, Steve moves through the mixolydian mode (flat 7ths) and into the C minor scale with a song demonstration on each while showing his unique techniques throughout. All licks are shown for the left and right hands with slow, easy to understand instruction and then played up to speed with lots of tips along the way. Steve will have you improvising in no time at all with this great lesson for the lap style slide player! NOTE: On this DVD Steve uses a variation of the CGCEGC tuning: CGCGCD.
